Blue Royalty
Also known as: Blue Royalty Kush
Blue Royalty Strain Overview
Blue Royalty is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it is generally believed to be a cross between Blueberry and an undisclosed Royal Kush phenotype, likely developed by boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. It represents a modern refinement of classic indica genetics, combining the fruity terpene profile of Blueberry with the robust structure and resin production of Kush varieties.
The plant exhibits characteristic indica morphology with dense, compact buds that display a striking visual contrast. The flowers typically feature deep forest green calyxes heavily dusted with frosty trichomes, interspersed with vibrant purple and blue hues that become more pronounced during cooler nighttime temperatures in the flowering phase. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, completing the colorful presentation. The strain's name references both its blueberry lineage and the regal purple coloring that develops under optimal conditions.
Blue Royalty has maintained a consistent presence in medical and recreational markets, particularly in legal states, though it has not achieved the widespread commercial distribution of some more famous blueberry or kush varieties. Its relative stability and predictable effects have made it a reliable choice for both cultivators and consumers seeking a classic indica experience with modern refinement. The strain's genetic heritage places it within the broader family of berry-flavored indicas that have been popular in Western cannabis culture for decades.

Blue Royalty Strain Growing Information
Blue Royalty is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a typical flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Blue Royalty responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase to encourage color development, with cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C) helping to bring out the purple and blue hues. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly in the dense bud structure.
